Then God said, “Let us make man in
our image, after our likeness. And
let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea and over the birds
of the heavens and over the
livestock and over all the earth
and over every creeping thing that
creeps on the earth.”
(Genesis 1:26)
ESV
And God said, “Behold, I have
given you every plant yielding
seed that is on the face of all
the earth, and every tree with
seed in its fruit. You shall have
them for food.
(Genesis 1:29)
ESV
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep
it holy. Six days you shall labor,
and do all your work, but the
seventh day is a Sabbath to
the Lord your God. On it you shall
not do any work, you, or your son,
or your daughter, your male
servant, or your female servant,
or your livestock, or the
sojourner who is within your
gates. For in six days
the Lord made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
and rested on the seventh day.
Therefore the Lord blessed the
Sabbath day and made it holy.
(Exodus 20:8-11)
ESV
For six years you shall sow your
land and gather in its yield, but
the seventh year you shall let it
rest and lie fallow, that the poor
of your people may eat; and what
they leave the beasts of the field
may eat. You shall do likewise
with your vineyard, and with your
olive orchard.
(Exodus 23:10,11)
ESV
You shall not pollute the land in
which you live, for blood pollutes
the land, and no atonement can be
made for the land for the blood
that is shed in it, except by the
blood of the one who shed it.
(Numbers 35:33)
ESV
If you come across a bird's nest
in any tree or on the ground, with
young ones or eggs and the mother
sitting on the young or on the
eggs, you shall not take the
mother with the young. You shall
let the mother go, but the young
you may take for yourself, that it
may go well with you, and that you
may live long.
(Deuteronomy 22:6,7)
ESV
Whoever is righteous has regard
for the life of his beast, but the
mercy of the wicked is cruel.
(Proverbs 12:10)
ESV1
